Hey everyone, I'm considering using a 750W power supply for my setup, but the manual for my GPU specifies a minimum requirement of 800W. According to PC Part Picker, my entire build is estimated to draw about 506W, which leaves me with nearly 250W of headroom. So, I'm wondering if that's enough, or if I should really stick to the recommendation. The only reason I'm hesitant is that I'd prefer to keep the PSU I have rather than buy a new one. Here's the link to my current PSU: Rosewill Hive series 750W. What do you all think?

You can usually get away with a little less than what’s recommended if your PSU is high quality, but your Rosewill is bronze rated, which isn’t top-notch. Keep in mind that quality matters just as much as wattage.
Is that mainly because of the bronze rating, or does Rosewill have a reputation for not performing well?
